Opinion: Anyone seriously interested in preventing dangerous levels of global warming should be advocating for nuclear power, write James Hansen and ShellenbergerMD

Many environmentalists have changed their minds about nuclear energy over the past decade. While the share of energy produced by solar and wind has grown rapidly, nuclear remains America’s largest source of clean, zero-emissions electricity. Anyone seriously interested in preventing dangerous levels of global warming should be advocating nuclear power.

But two-thirds of U.S. nuclear plants in the U.S. are at risk of being closed prematurely and replaced by natural-gas generation, which is currently cheaper in many states....

ShellenbergerMD Stop conflating clean nuclear energy as a solution for the dangerous global warming hoax. Hanson is a verifiable fraud. Nuclear can stand on its own merits.

ShellenbergerMD Thank you for your efforts mr Shellenberg 🙏

ShellenbergerMD The enemy of the world is us! We will end ourselves for power and money.

ShellenbergerMD That would make sense....but with democRats like big mouth AOC in the way....they impede sensible efforts...

ShellenbergerMD meh

ShellenbergerMD Just curious where's that promised nuclear fusion ? Seems I've been hearing just 20 more years for the past 60.

ShellenbergerMD Before we build more reactors, maybe we should contain the damaged caused at Fukushima?

ShellenbergerMD It's so obvious. If professionally managed. We dont need another Chernobyl. Every other power source has drawbacks. Even solar needs batteries that contain heavy metals that have to be mined and later disposed of.

ShellenbergerMD Now do, turning our planet into a nuclear waste land.😱

ShellenbergerMD Wind power (the kind that doesn't cause cancer), hydro, and solar are much better choices than nuclear.

ShellenbergerMD Yes professional

Must be the opinion of one who has no children living on the rez where the US DUMPS ITS NUCLEAN WASTE.

ShellenbergerMD I said it yesterday 👇 POTUS KremlinRussia_E WhiteHouse elonmusk

ShellenbergerMD South Carolina tried to build them and apparently people forgot how to design plan and construct them. They had to scrap the job. Georgia has too but they kept the project going but millions well over budget. Why hasn’t this been more widely reported?

ShellenbergerMD I said it yesterday 👇JustinTrudeau

ShellenbergerMD Not until we know a safe way to dispose of nuclear waste!!

ShellenbergerMD

ShellenbergerMD Sure. Let's advocate for something that if shit went bad, the result could be worse than global warming.

ShellenbergerMD If man wasn't F with the weather by Evil Scientist Geo Engenering everything u wouldn't be preaching climate change like Jesus is preaching it what the hell is wrong with u people to much poison in yr food air water its claimed ur brains man is making the weather Go to school

ShellenbergerMD Proof of the lie that is climate change

ShellenbergerMD Nuclear power what do people think radiation candy or something maybe they should hook up oxygen masks for people to inhale as much radiation as they can so cancer won't be the number two killer in the world are is wrong with people to think u want Nuclear anything go to f school

ShellenbergerMD I don't consiser radioactivity clean. I consider it deadly.

ShellenbergerMD It's too late...

ShellenbergerMD Yep.. nuclear is cool, all right -- except for the occasional times when it threatens to reach 10,000 degrees F or so...

ShellenbergerMD The climate NEEDS us to REDUCE energy use and waste. The climate does NOT need nuclear waste.

ShellenbergerMD The cleanest fuel source in existence.

ShellenbergerMD It's back to global warming? Or is it because the climate changed to spring and you need something to talk about? 🤔

ShellenbergerMD This seems legit. We need to build smart nuclear plants and produce considerably less waste though

ShellenbergerMD Natural gas is the best. You people are goofy.

ShellenbergerMD But what about umm like you know like ummmm....the COWS!
